Hey guys,

Maybe someone on here can help me...

I want to share a printer over my network, but because of the layout of the house and certain needs, I can't connect the printer directly to the wireless access point.

I have an Asus RT-N16 lying around, rooted with Tomato that I used to use before we switched to Telus and now we're using the modem they gave us.

Can I connect my printer to my N16, and then connect the N16 to my existing network, as a client (i guess), and be able to share the printer across my computers?

If it matters, printer is a Canon MF4150, router is an Asus RT-N16 (tomato), and the Telus router is an Actiontec V1000H.

TIA
